Exploring the Integration Experiences of Refugees and People in the Asylum System in the UK
What was the ask?
To explore the integration experiences of refugees and people in the asylum in the UK, and to gain a deeper understanding of what facilitates and what hinders integration from this group’s perspective.
What did we do?
We carried out mixed-methods research, combining immersive ethnographic interviews and a UK-wide survey of refugees and people in the asylum system. The survey was one of the largest of its kind to take place in the UK, receiving 755 responses.
What was the outcome?
Our research was published in a report by the Commission. It also fed into the Commission’s headline report “From Arrival to Integration: Building Communities for Refugees and for Britain”.
